I'm not sure what you're asking for though. UA has a large section on their website that explains that the midwest of the US is experiencing severe weather, that many flights, etc. have been cancelled and providing instructions on how to rebook. What's your point? That they're lying? Are you saying that they should have to publicly detail every operational decision they make, including the inputs to that decision, how they are weighted, what alternatives they have, what the costs of each option are, etc?
Yes, I want every little detail on every flight.
Seriously, this case seems like a special one. We have the same weather conditions affecting all airlines at ORD. All other airlines get off 100% of their TATL flights. UA gets off 0%. Let me put it this way -- if I pay thousands of dollars for a C ticket to fly ORD-LHR on 1/5 and I am told that it is not possible to due to weather while I see every other flight to LHR going that day, you are darned right that I want a little more than than "bad weather."
